Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Rabinovitch, you made a bold statement, and I think there's certainly a significant element of truth in it. I'd like to quote it. It says: “The role of public broadcasters has always been to reinforce coherence and common values.”
Now, the CBC, of all of our national broadcasters, is considered to be the mirror in which Canadians see themselves. I think you'll agree with me that there are a significant number of Canadians who, justifiably or not, feel that the CBC doesn't necessarily reflect either their values or probably more correctly their perspectives. In an increasingly diverse society, we're going to have an increasing number of those perspectives.
How do we draw these individuals back into the fold where they feel that they're valued, where they feel that their views are being recognized as being legitimate, perhaps not shared by the majority of Canadians, but still views that are worthy of consideration? In such a rapidly changing technological world, how do we bring these people to a point where they do recognize CBC as being their public broadcaster? Perhaps you could also comment on what strategies you've employed in the past to ensure that we have a broad dialogue on these issues and on new strategies you'll employ in the future to do that.
